A large amount of feather waste is generated from the poultry industry. This waste containing a considerable amount of keratin can be utilized by microorganisms thus leading to its environmentally safe disposal. The objective of the study was to isolate and identify a feather degrading bacterium from poultry farm soil, optimize the cultural conditions and partial purification of keratinase enzyme using ammonium sulphate precipitation, followed by exploring the applications. The study was…
